Expertise: I love to draw. To be honest I love to give advice. I thought a lot about psychology, but I can't do the research well enough. I like learning about people, and I like trying to lead. It's been a long time since I have felt like I could, but maybe now God will use me in ways I hadn't been open to before.

| Yup, Virginia is still amazing. It's still home too. Every night so far I have gone to bed with a sore throat and aching sides from laughing so incredibley hard, and often. There really is no place like home! Several of you rom Michigan may soon face coersion to move to Virginia with me...start packing! | | |
| So xanga... where did you go? Anyway, I quite school in
Chicago. I don't have enough money to finish it up. I guess it's
not a big deal in the long run; there are more important things
than art anyway. I applied at Kuyper and Cornerstone, and will
apply at GVSU once I have talked to them about credit transfers.
Family is doing alright. Ryan is finishing up his last week of
HS. Mom is overloaded as always, but of course still being mega
productive. I am doing alright. I have my gotten my first
hire for a painting, which is cool. I am also doing teachers aid
stuff at Unity in the art room, which is really fun. Dad is doing
great, I think he is feeling more calm than he has since forever; can't
imagine why... ( Too creepy?) Anyhow...hurray for xanga
entries?

| Well, on the 30th, grandpa passed. Hopefully the death is over
for while. Thanks to everyone for your prayers, his passing
was peaceful.

| Hi. For as much as it may seem otherwise, when you read this
please keep in mind that it is not about any one person. If you
do take it that way, then you're mistaken in the meaning as a
whole. With that said, I hope you like it:
Noone Wants the Wise
By: Glenn C. Shoup V
Do you know what you’re looking in to
Do you have any clue that he’s looking right in to you
Your eyes give you away; open windows to your weakness
You’re not the only one who knows your lies
I’ve cried my tears; shed the blood I had to shed
These eyes may never dry, God willing this blood will ever flow
We understand so little
We know too much
And I can’t draw your pain anymore
I am not the artist
But I can write your letters
I am the pen, spilling blood on paper, but noone wants the wise
I won’t claim to know a thing
Knowing has cost us our lives
But I will understand all things, and I will walk on
I will search you out the moment our eyes meet
Look in to mine and understand
Pride and pain you never lack
I am here to show you how to bleed it away
And I can help you remember how to cry
I will know not a thing– I will understand it all
Well, I can’t paint your picture
I am no creator
But I can smear your name on that canvas
I am the brush, dragging blood across white, but noone wants the wise
No one wants to understand
Everyone knows death
Noone wants the wise
I can show you where to understand life
Noone wants the wise

| Hey, I am looking to start freelancing as an artist. If you have
any requests, I could use the work, and I will work cheap. If you know
anyone, plz give them my number 616.745.2209, or e-mail
benface42@gmail.com. Obviously you cant reach me there as well if
you'd like anything, or just leave me a comment and a better way to
contact you than xanga. You can check out some of my work here
http://sonofgoodfortune.deviantart.com/ but please keep in mind it is
all nearly or over a year old. Thanks.
